Comment on Jury discharged at trial of men accused of murdering child abuser Ian Watkins
ordnance_qf_17_pounder@reddthat.com 1 week agoNobody cares about Watkins death but let’s not forget that one of the guys who killed him is a rapist and the other already a murderer. Everyone involved is an evil piece of shit.

Ah, well in that case it’s fine, but they still did the country a service.
I’ve been watching a Japanese series called Rainbow about seven guys who bonded in a juvenile detention centre in the 1950s and their lives after, and in a recent episode I watched, one suffers a loss and cries out, asking a higher power or fate if one mistake should condemn them for eternity. Rapist? Oh, absolutely, especially if the victim is a child. But someone who killed someone? Maybe they can be redeemed. I’m not sure. It would depend. And it’s not my place to say. But I think if the government is not willing to condemn them to death, if the government decides they should live, then should they not have a chance at redemption? Otherwise, what is the point of them?

Let’s not look to Japan for ideals of justice.

Not sure if racist in general or racist towards Japan specifically 🤔

A 95% conviction rate doesn’t trouble you?
